INTRODUCTION The term forensic investigation refers to the use of science or technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidences to be used in legal cases or other proceedings. The scope of forensic analysis varies from information retrieval to reconstructing series of events that have occurred in the past. In this paper we would be discussing the meaning of the term ‘COMPUTER FORENSICS’, its uses, the users of computer forensics, steps involved in this type of forensic investigation
Abstract Forensic pathology or medical examination involves investigation and discovery of the cause of dead. This field is one branch of forensic science that implicates thoroughly examination of the bodies of people who died suddenly, unexpectedly or violently, it determinate the time, cause and manner of death. This determination involves collaboration between medical examiner and others as toxicologist, radiologists, entomologist or anthropologist, with the autopsy or postmortem examination
2.1. Introduction: Biotechnology is a commercial technology which can be defined in several ways. The most relevant definition is the application of scientific and engineering principle to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services useful to human and human welfare. It is defined as a science which involves cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, Genetic Engineering, Tissue culture, Bioprocess, Bio-informatics, Nanotechnology etc. Any technique
subject to forensic analysis. Also, some jurors may believe that forensic science is a perfect science that's always accurate, however they are ignoring the possibility of human or technical error. In the movie “The Real CSI”, it is stated that someone can be considered an expert based on knowledge, skill, experience, training or education, the real issue is that once a judge says they can testify they are considered an expert in their specific field. There are many problems in the forensic science

According to some researchers, forensic is sub-divided into some categories: 1. Criminalistics is a subdivision of forensic science that analyzes and answer questions related to biological evidence, trace evidence, proof prints (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, tire tracks and cars), controlled substances (chemicals that are banned by the government because it could lead to the potential for abuse or addiction), ballistics (examination of firearms) and other evidence found at a crime scene
DEFINITION OF WILDLIFE FORENSIC Wildlife forensics basically deals with the application of knowledge of forensic science to the field of wildlife to solve legal cases involving crime against animals. BRIEF HISTORY OF WILDLIFE FORENSICS In earlier times only visual comparison and blood analysis of the samples were carried out. But with the development of immunological techniques, scientists were able to determine the family of specimen. Then, electrophoretic protein analysis came into being which
Introduction and development of Forensic accounting The term forensic auditing started from the 1940’s and has taken significant Place in this modern economy.” In the late 1940s, forensic auditing proved its worth during World War II; however, formalized procedures were not put in place until the 1980s when major academic studies in the field were published (Rasey 2009).

Many deaths occur as a result of poisoning when the poison level is reached above the lethal dose, where as a person survives if the level is below the lethal dose. In such cases, Forensic Clinical Toxicologist plays an important role of detecting the nature of poisons or drugs immediately and informs the doctor who administrates the anti-doded. *Classification Of Poisons: Classification of poisons can be
